I don't really care to roll it up but why not an bit soft? To cup in my hand or fitted in my pocket would be nice instead of this brick. We can make lighter thinner phones if they don't need so much rigidity.

The batteries have to be rigid. That's the problem at the moment.

Windows actually isn't very cheap.

agree, because "free" can be neither "cheap" nor "expensive"

It's not free at all. If you buy Windows through the official channels it's quite expensive. If you buy it on the grey market, it's dirt cheap, though.

And even if you pay $1,000,000/day to use it, it still spies on you and sells your data to outsiders.

Exactly, yet lots of people are happy to keep using it and paying the price to do so, despite the existence of free and far superior alternatives.

It's got a lot of analogy to restaurants banning Uber delivery for not handling their food to their standards.

That actually is not analogy at all and it makes sense. When a low-paid Uber Eats delivery person just throws the box carelessly and brings damaged dish to the customer, that's a real issue.

In digital services there's no such thing. There's only a damned corporation employing idiots who don't care about community.


What? How?

Thats a fun read and a topic I've specifically looked into before and its one of those black holes of terms than cannot be searched. You get so much noise.


Growth. It's a disease. Can't just work on a good product it's got to make arbitrary growth targets.


Someone called it a number of years ago once each kind of brand new apple device couldn't plug into each other without a dongle.


No update for a year for something that opens weird files from the internet is a little scary, even just dependency changes. Not that 7-zip was ever any better at that.


You could if they built a donation & support trading app separate from the content app?


I'm confused what you'd want an IP certificate for when DNS A records update so easily and cheap? Is this a case of you'd want both not either, like setting up spf/dkms/dmarc?


btrfs has a real driver at least https://github.com/maharmstone/btrfs

It's what my steamdeck is formatted to so I could plop the drive into windows and rip steamapps across to shortcut a lot of downloading.
